II ncreased Amount Available For Student Loans is Held Main Reason Fewer students this year than usual have withdrawn from Wil lamette university after the fail matriculation. Dean Frank M. Er ickson announced yesterday. Dean Eriekson attributed the continu ing attendance to a number of fac tors, among which an augmented amount of money for student scholarship loans was a major one. Kncason saia ine aieiuouisi uei eral Education board fund had been increased from $4000 to r$4500 this year for use at Wil lamette. More than $2000 Is now in the R. A. Booth scholarship fund administrated by C. P. Bish op and available for use annually Is between $400 and $500. Additional loan funds which are being built up include a number of privately given scholarships. funds of the Association of Uni versity Women administered by that body and the newly created faculty loan fund for which $600 was raised this fall. Inability of students to get work if they should drop from school was another reason for the continuing' student attedance, Er iekson said. Many students this year, said the dean, realize, too, that their best chance to ootam work is to fit themselves for some particular job and thus the stu dents are staying in university as long as their funds permit. Willamette s enrollment or more than 600 students this fall was one of the largest in the school's history. Boys outnumber girls In the total regl?tration. a situation seldom existing at the university here.

This . situation was said to be due to the existing business depression, and the fact that a number of the larger in dustries have curtailed operations. A study conducted by the tax commission indicated that the delinquencies will vary from one per cent or less in Multnomah, Marion and some of, the more prosperous counties in the Wil lamette valley, to 10 per cent in a number of the eastern Oregon counties. The average is approxi mately five per cent over a six years' period, the tax commis sioners said. All counties paid their first half taxes and hope to pay all of the second half. Three counties are on a warrant basis, but two of these will only remain so until the last half taxes are paid. The commission is optimistic over the ability of these counties to meet the situation. While it is impossible to an alize all the causes of the in creased delinquency now prevail ing there is little to Indicate there is any concerted action to take advantage of the abolition of the penalty and lowering of the in terest rate on delinquent taxes by the 1931 legislature, particularly in the rural areas. The legisla ture reduced the Penalty from 12 per cent to 8 per cent. At the re cent state meeting of county as sessors 20 of the 36 county offi cials said they are convinced the reduction of penalty had nothing to do with the delinquency. The appraised value of tillable agricultural lands in Oregon last year was $243,612,388. of a total of $940.818520, exclusive of busi ness and utility property, or about one-fourth of the state valuation. Appraised value of timber lands was $68,631,966; non-tillable land, $67,083,465; and the ap proximate value of all farm, city and other real estate, about one half billion dollars. Dexter Rice, Roseburg attorney who defended Dr. Richard Brum- field in the famous murder case there about ten years ago. was here yesterday representing David L.

L. Eddy repre sented the Douglas county school superintendent in the same case before the education board yesterday. The board did not arrive at a decision, but ex pects to return its opinion to day or soon afterward. Eddy while here attended a meeting of the hydro-electric commis sion, of which he is a member. Carl V. Haecker. assistant sales promotion and advertising mana ger of the nation-wide organiza tion of Montgomery-Ward Co.. was sneaker at the Aa club lunch eon Friday noon. The meeting was attended by a considerable croup of merchants who were Interested In the general topic which Mr. Haecker discussed: "How to bring the customer to the merchandise." He emphasised the coordination of all sales effort with advertising and window displays. The windows, he declared, are the most valuable parts of the store and should be dressed with due regard to color schemes, mass ing, etc., to carry the best appeal to shoppers. Timeliness and orig inality are needed to get the best returns both from displays ana aa vertising. A store must be right In the van with its merchandising and not a few weeks late in push ing Its stuff. Another factor of importance, according to Mr. Haecker. was store lighting, and related how ene store by multiplying by three the amount of illumination in a certain dark corner greatly in creased the sales in that depart ment. Additional experiments made by putting price tags on goods displayed showed that sales were better where the price was clearly displayed. ' You have to come to the price sooner or later, so you may as well be frank and honest about it." was Haecker's advice. "Spasmodic ad v?i Using fails in every instance, vas one or ms declarations. A store should be consistent aad follow on a regu lar program of advertising, build ing' up individually and distinc tiveness.
